Latenight Fruit Vendors Outside NagaWorld Because there are so many people here (2 million) and such a constant flow of traffic, rush hour, construction projects, businessmen, etc, it’s easy to think of Phnom Penh as a major city. But it’s not, really. It’s probably more like a small town. There’s community theater - so you can see a play once every few months. There are a few bars that show depressing Khmer Rouge documentaries, and a French Cultural Center that shows depressing French films and a bunch of things in that vein. For the most part, if you want choice when it comes to your passive entertainment, you’ll have to go the route of bootlegged new release DVDs, or bars or theoretically, books. OH BUT DID I MENTION THERE’S A CASINO? The town has one casino. It’s enthralling. NagaWorld is a hotel and a bunch of restaurants and a lot of random floors that are fun to wander around until you get caught and a casino! The stakes are low and they’ll bring you drinks for free (as long as you don’t bother to divide losses among your drink) and there’s even a room with a fake sky painted on the ceiling and some tiny Venetian-style streams underfoot. I won, so I’m very keen on NagaWorld. Stay tuned for my inevitable future backlash.
